Respect and Civility
I recently read a post on Nora Jones on BROWNSTONER. It contained a the following post: “Why not hate her? She sucks.” I am appalled! Frankly,comments of this nature are short of “hate crimes” this should not be allowed in this forum or ant other forum. I find BROWNSTONER a great resource BUT it seems…
I recently read a post on Nora Jones on BROWNSTONER. It contained a the following post:
“Why not hate her? She sucks.” I am appalled! Frankly,comments of this nature are short of “hate crimes” this should not be allowed in this forum or ant other forum. I find BROWNSTONER a great resource BUT it seems to be riddled with nasty, rude, condescending, vicous comments of a personal nature. As a member I am asking BROWNSTONER to stop these hateful comments they serve no purpose.
4:28 AM???? Sad.
Inside on Brownstoner on one of the most beautiful mornings we’ve had??? Sadder.
Headed to Bucks County. Will check back in when the bread is baking, before liquid lunch.
If you don’t want to view all comments, start your own censored blog.
Oh, and it’s Norah, not Nora. Sorry Norah. I don’t hate.
“I’m just afraid they’re thinking of casting Shelley Winters to play me.”
meme, whatever you do, please stay out of the OT! Whatever you do, do NOT read the OT from this past Thursday, April 29th, which is sure to include posts that will offend. Really, whatever you do, please, do NOT follow the following link:

“Respect and Civility” sounds like the sequel to “Pride and Prejudice”
Who shall we cast as whom???
Snappy, sometimes even the haters have something positive to add. BHO annoys everyone but I’d never “Ignore” him. winelover is a different story.
While I agree that there are some hateful comments that appear from time to time, I also have to agree with Putnamdenizen that your putting this on the level of hate crimes is more than a smidge of an overstatement. Perhaps your best bet is to email Mr. B. directly, as I’m sure others have, and request that he install an ‘ignore’ feature so that you don’t have to view the posts of commenters you find offensive.
Nora Jones isn’t the best singer out there but she’s nice to listen to on vacation and I seem to hear a lot of her on WCOD on Cape Cod, so that’s what she reminds me of.
As far as her house with all the new windows and the pool, more power to her. You should focus on the Cobble Hill neighbors who are the haters.
Nora, if you’re listening, come visit us on the Cape this year.
